Sounds like a driver issue.
Uninstall them and reinstall them.

Will try, thanked anyway.

It's very likely considering that the port obviously works.

Yeah, I agree. I just have one problem I don't wanna see like a little 10 year old annoying kid. But I just got into the rooting community and such. My phone is unrooted at the moment so do you have any idea where I could get these drivers?

Damn 10 year olds!

http://www6.sprint.com/downloads/htc/executables/htcsync2.0.35.exe should work.
More updated ones would be here:

Thanks again.
Edit: Even being hooked up to HTC Sync it won't recognize it's hooked up to a computer. Just charging i've tried multiple computers as well. I plug it up put default on HTC Sync and HTC Sync still says, connect device.. so frustrating.

WiFi file explorer won't fix your problem but will let you transfer files back and forth over WiFi. My Ian port has been messed up for awhile this has been my fix.
Swyped from my Orange Peeled Synergist EVO

I have been experiencing this very issue for almost a month now. Hard, reset, reinstalled drivers, done it all but to no avail. (wife's Evo connects with ease; Win7 sp1)
Been thinking that the usb por is broken - but I can still charge. I can adb and transfer over wi-fi. Only thing wish I could do wirelessly was qpst.
Anyway, I am happy just as long as I can charge the evo. If that changes, then I will get a repair done for $40.
Hope this really isn't the case.

Most likely is a busted usb port, same thing happened to one of the evo's I worked with. Charging fine but will not get discovered by any computers(tried multiple computers with multiple usb cables), but when pushing the cable into the port all my force windows recognized the phone but gave an error for "unknown device", had to actually get another usb port and repair it myself (better than paying $100), drivers definitely not the case here

Thanks everyone! Just gonna go pay 100$ for a new one. I was really wanting to root so if I can't without it being hooked to a computer might as well get a new one.

Why would you pay $100?
If you pay the $8 take it to the Sprint store and they'll look at it.
The $100 is for physical/water damage or lost/stolen phone.

Reboot your phone and go to running services and make sure calendar sync is still running. I don't know why but if you stop that from running it won't connect to your P.C.

I have something running called calendar, but can't find calendar sync? Same thing or?

They probably start with a refurb, and if none are in stock, they'll order you a new one.

Couple days depending on how long it takes to get to me... once I've rooted it you can tell me what you want on it and ill flash it for you and send it back.

Not sure could be the drivers if you have any other mobile drivers unistall them and only install the drivers found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
Also could be you need a new cable or need to use a different usb port if you haven't tried that. Clean the usb ports on the pc and the epic. There are some variables that can cause it not to detect.

The computer makes all the difference in the world, believe it or not. I thought I had bricked my phone on one computer then successfully odined it on another using the same exact files I used on the first one, copied files over through my home network from one comp to the other not new downloads, and the same USB cable. Worked like a charm like it always does on that computer.

What kind of puter? You got the right samsung drivers?
I tried on my laptop (Mac) and desktop (windows) and yes they have the right drivers
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Well your mac laptop won't need drivers. If it's plugged in and your phone has the settings box checked for "MTP" then it'll be recognized. Did you download Android File Transfer? You'll need it to transfer files.
Is USB debugging checked? If so, uncheck it and try to install the drivers again. If you can't, shoot me your Gmail and I'll help you through G Talk.
Custom kernel? Make sure USB fast charge is off.
Ok! I tried the new cable that came with the replacement and it works just fine... its weird that the cable I have is not working anymore..

"Made in Korea" means it was manufactured by Samsung directly and not outsourced to some factory in China.
If you're unhappy with the signal drops you can try to get another replacement, or look at the threads here on signal drops for solutions
Yeah! I'm looking for ways to fix it.. but the one I had was made in china and was brilliant no drops nor anything. I curse the day I dropped and cracked the screen.. do you think I can just go to the Verizon store and ask them for a replacement

If you're within the return period, they will replace your device no questions asked. If you're over it, it would depend on the store you go to but more likely than not you have a good chance.
Just make sure you're stock and not rooted
I called yesterday and after a couple of minutes well an hour to be exactly they're going to send me a new device. That's what she said. But since today is 4th of July the phone should be here by tomorrow..

haha thanks everyone and no they didnt offend me at all cause im not a noob but im also not a developer, i just cant get my phone into download mode because of the usb port malfunction i actually didnt know it was bad at the the time only because it still charged and what not but i traded an HD2 for it and was done messing with it, i wanted something new and its going to be new to me also installing this usb port haha so wish me luck i also bought one of those usb jigs off ebay to hopefully get me into download mode, everytime i use my cable it goes straight into stock recovery if it wasnt for that i would be flashing away! ive tried everything getting it into DL mode, also ive tried getting it warrantied but tmboile says ive had too many exchanges ha so im SOL on that one, i had the g2x before the hd2 and suppovsevly according to them its my fault they kept sending me POS phones esp since the g2x has been EOLed i mean cmon. they knew that phone had nothing but problems why still send it to people

No problem, also welcome to the community. Hope you are able to fix that usb.
One last thing though, now don't quote me on this, but I remember reading that using the usb cord from a g2x or I think any lg phone would get you into download mode. Not exactly sure how it worked, but I think you turned off the phone, connected the usb to the phone, then to the computer. And then power on the phone and it would take you to dl mode. Not 100% sure but you might want to look into that

To the OP, best of luck and let us know how it goes. There are DIY tutorials a well for usb port repairs.
And as for buying used phones, we must be careful. But otherwise, I say go for it. My SGS2 was purchased used via Craigslist and it's been running great with zero problems. I suggest everyone considering a used purchase visit the xda forum associated with the phone and see what kinds of problems/defects have been common with the phone so you will know what things to look for when you make the buy.

Crazy story but my nexus started having this crazy charging issue which spread into a USB issue no matter the computer they would all say could not recognize This device ..I thought my phone was through because it was the international version therefore I'd have to get in contact with another country to get this resolved *sidenote I tried mobile Odin and made my phone sort of unusable for a while * ..after much debate I figured I could fix this myself ..scouring the internet seeing tons of people with the same problem I decided to repair this because it was not software and it was not gunk inside the port ..so I ordered the part and saw how relatively easy it was to repair it was ridiculously simple and here I was going to pay someone to fix it lol...thanks google and Samsung for simplicity..that being said ill fix other peoples problem if anyone has it hit me up anytime

As anyone been through this and found a solution for this issue? I've tried all the versions available and none of them work. I'm running an AMD powered 64 bit Win8 laptop (my wife's netbook runs on an Intel processor.)
